Just wanted to say a big thanks for generously sharing your expertise! You’ve easily become one of my favourites creators and excited to see where the channel goes. God bless!

If you take warp stabilizer into After Effects you can control the tracking points for every single frame. Deleting all points that are on moving objects and the sky will take away that warping/distorted effect. It is very time consuming but in certain cases (such as an important shot for narrative reasons) it is a life saver! Otherwise I kinda prefer no in camera stabilization. I would rather have a shoulder rig and get that natural feel. But that is my opinion. Good stuff!

Great tips! I’ve spent a year trying to figure out the best rig combination for the 6K, and I’ve mainly kept the camera on a tripod. Being loose is such a good point-helps cut down on micro jitters. And I’ve had success by bracing the camera against my chest with my rear battery plate. I put a handle on the left side and my right hand is free to run the follow focus. I cut the top heavy monitor problem but using the old IKan 3.5 inch monitor. That’s only for short handheld shots, of course. It’s a continuing process. Small world that we’re both in the ATL! Keep shooting…

Autofocus is buns on both, so the speed boosters don’t need to have good AF electronics. You get that extra field of view. You got that 4K BRAW (a huge appeal for me). You got that extra light coming in the sensor. They’re both great man! :) Where’s your company based out of?

I had this exact same issue, but I didn't just buy one BMPCC4k, I bought 2 and use the Vintage Canon FD lenses. Hated the jitter, loathed it. So we experimented with building out just one. Rails, V mount battery, mattebox with ND's the entire thing. Thank you SmallRig! Well, its heavy. But it's also far more steady. If I really want smooth shots, I'll spend the half-hour (LOL) getting it on my Ronin S. It's a pain with the Ronin S but you find your way eventually. Counterweights helped. Still not perfect, but when I shoot a home with a 12mm Mieke I rarely notice it and If I do, After Effects, fixes it. Nice work buddy

Dude - you have the perfect voice (the SM7B helps, I'm sure)! I've just made peace with the fact that I will only use my BMPCC 4k for shots in which I'm NOT walking (swiveling or swaying seems to have decent results for me) or if I'm walking at 60/75 fps with a 24p project.

Tip - Use the strap you got in the box. Allow the strap to take the weight off the camera. It's no stabiliser or easy rig, the images aren't perfect by any means, but if you combine it with a top handle, it'll be a lot better than just holding it outright.

Thank you! Very solid info! It´as almost nobody is talking about this!!!! I don´t get it!!! The "shaky footage" problem has really been troubling me with the BMPC6K and stabilising footage can (most of the times) totalyy ruin everything and also strain all the emotions out of the shot. I really love working handheld, so it´s been pretty discouraging. Tried working with a gimbal and with higher frame rates, but still, a gimbal shot can´t replace hanheld when you´re going for handheld... and I tend to lose myself in the technical aspects of handling the gimbal and cannot concentrate as much as I would like to on the image and composition. I also believe that the BMPC 6K ´s rolling shutter doesn´t make things easier on getting good handheld footage either. I wonder if one hast the same issues with the red komodo for example, that has a global shutter... at least that´s one of the most important reasons for me to check the komodo out!

Blackmagic Production Camera 4K has global shutter. I recently found out that . I wondered why nowdays this camera is in much less demand than pocket4k. in my opinion, such a feature as a global shutter is extremely important for the quality of the material. Also, the difference between the resolution of this cameras is so insignificant. What do you think about that?

Great vid, thanks for making this. I have a BMPCC 6k and the jitters on it just kill me, it's a constant battle. This camera has a beautiful image but the fact that you have to rig it out so much, completely defeats the concept of "pocket cam." I shoot in LA where you often need to be discreet if you don't have a permit, so a giant heavy rig is not always possible. I'm thinking of switching to Sony A7s iii JUST for auto focus and stabilization alone on smaller camera.

@collinausbury

3 жыл бұрын

Evan! The camera switch decision is oftentimes a time-consuming ecosystem overhaul... I feel for you. You’re totally right, it’s packed with sweet features - I was eyeing the Sony a7s iii for months before landing with the pocket. Truly a beast. Always depends on your workflow, and what works best for you, your clients, and your wallet. Good luck with whatever you choose. In an ideal world, we’d have both.

I’m torn... I’m picking up the 6k pro... all my other cameras are pretty heavy so jitters aren’t really an issue. I decided to get the Ronin S to fly this camera. But I’m torn between getting the Tilta cage setup or getting a sigma art 18-35 lens in addition to my setup. Which do you recommend actually owning a bmpcc? I’m currently using Rokinon lenses and I also own a 24-105 F4 canon, and a 135mm L series lens (which won’t be useful on a super 35 sensor)

@collinausbury

Hey, let’s talk about it - by Tilta Cage Setup are you referring to Matt Gonzalez’s setup of his 6K or are you thinking just a Tilta cage. I just bought the Sigma 18-35mm and I love it. It does get flack (not sure why, it’s great), but is a great lowlight performer with some good weight. The image is clean. What are you trying to shoot? Let’s go from there. Also - For me personally, I’m not a fan of Rokinon lenses. It’s cheaper made and the image is was consistently not as clear for me.

For me a great way to stabilize is using a viewfinder loupe on the camera's LCD display and go old school super 8 camera style. Having the camera "pressed" against my head really helps a lot. And it also solves the problem with bright sunlight and having a hard time to see whats on the monitor.

Hey Yuyan! Thanks for the kind words. Glad it was helpful! I agree with you fully. The longer the lens, the heavier the build necessary so building it big at first isn’t an issue if you’re doing a lot of narrative where the cam lives on sticks when not shooting. Pop it off and go to town. But for events and travel, strip it down and go lighter. I will definitely consider this when brainstorming. The sigma is such a popular lens for this kit. Do you have either of these two lenses?

@@collinausbury Yeah, sigma18-35 is kinda the most popular lens while we talking about BMP camera (also 50-100) . I had one(18-35) a few years ago when I use Gh5s. The problem is no image stabilizer on the lens, also there is no IBIS in the camera body, I was not satisfied with the setup at that time. Today, when I consider buying the lens for my BMP, Image stabilizer is a kind crucial thing. Sigma do have a bigger aperture and the image quality is amazing, but no stabilizer in it. I searched a lot of info about cannon 17-55, the results are not bad, footage even could be used as a commercial one. Most important, the footage handheld is much usable. But I am still struggling if I can only buy one of them. The 1.8 aperture is too attractive for me. and I also want the image stabilizer. HAHA, am I too greedy?

BMPCC 6k. HHeld tips. I do a lot of impromptu street shooting. The 6k is my everyday carry camera. I go from the bag to recording street action in 6 seconds. I keep it rig free so it looks like I'm pulling a chunky DSLR out of my bag. These are tips for an unweighted camera taking full advantage of its SLR design. 1. Use the strap. I have mine attached to a Manfroto base plate. I slip that onto the Manfrotto quick release plate so its on the bottom of the camera and not getting in my way. Right hand on the controls, left hand on the lens, elbows in and you have three points of stability. Sigma 18-35 is long and heavy, use that length to soften movement with your focus hand. Practice. Keep note of your breathing. 2. Shoot shorter sequences. Are you building a scene or shooting Russian Ark? Most of my takes are 5 to 7 seconds. Switch on HFR. Nice. Think about your takes, do you really need to swirl around your subject? Are you showing off your cool or are you adding to the story? 3. Tamron SP 45mm F1.8 DI VC USD. Fast, has image stabilisation (Vibration Control) sensational for indoors shooting. The stabilisation is smooth with an effective zoom of 72mm. I want their 24 to 70 with 5 stops of VC. That would be way cool. 4. Squat down, get low, use your knee as a platform. Practice body glides, that is sliding your body from one side to another, often you don’t need to move the camera much. Use your torso. Practice. 5. When you get good at this you will command so much more control over your framing you will want to tell better stories.

Gotcha, are you saying you used a normal lens that didn’t have IS and threw some warp stabilizer on the footage?

The lens I recommended in this vid is my personal favorite. It’s wide and sharp. Get a good quality NISI ND filter and go for it. Any canon glass with IS is pretty good for handheld specifically. Of Two Lands has some great videos on lens choices for the BMPCC 6K. Give those a watch before your shoot, too. If you don’t have any lenses with IS, weigh that sucker down. Put a lot of weight on it - a buddy of mine bought some weights that you use on a glidecam to add weight to some of his setups, that will help too! Wider lenses are always going to be better for you as well. Best of luck my friend.

Hey! So the BMPCC isn't intended to function as a stills camera. What you can do to get still images is shoot a video and take screengrabs of frames you like. You can also purchase an external monitor that has a screenshot function and save frames this way.

I doubt you’ll ever be able to get it super steady without adding more weight. I have a cage, some handles, rods, a monitor, and a vmount battery and sometimes other things like a follow focus and mattebox. Once it starts getting heavier you really start to see the micro jitters go away. It might be a little annoying because it kind of takes the “pocket” aspect out of it but using longer and vintage lenses is definitely worth it.

1) Don't hold the camera in the handle. 2) Use both hands to stabilize the camera. 3) Lock your arms into your body. 4) Hold the camera close to your body. 5) If possible rest it on your wrist. 6) Breath with the camera. 7) Take breaks. 8) Practice.

The gimbal look and handheld look are different. If the robotically smooth movement works for your story, go for it! Talking here about handheld look.

Is 21mm on a m4/3 good all round focal length for wide and close up shots?

@collinausbury

3 жыл бұрын

That’s tough! An 18mm (36mm equiv) may work well for you. Good balance. But the 21 coming up to 42 equiv also isn’t bad, but your shots won’t be very wide. You may need multiple primes to have an ideal setup. I’m not a big fan of zooms for narrative, but for client work zooms come in handy.

Hey Ahmet, I don’t know the specifics, but you can make proxies for any footage and edit lower resolution versions of the footage and relink the original files once you’re done. I haven’t done with Davinci Resolve yet, but I’m certain there are videos out there on this topic. Search “resolve proxies”. Wish you the best.

I don’t. Maybe I should put some out there.

faster shutter speeds also helps when post stabilizing. outdoor regular stuff I use as fast a lens that I can with as fast as I can get away with shutter at highest FPS possible. bake the 6k down to 4K with resolve stabilization and its gorgeous. less rolling shutter artifacts, but then you get that "look". great vid. im trying to decide on a gimble for the 6kpro but everything im seeing looks iffy at best (I mean less than a grand)

in atlanta?? lets work/collab!

The great thing about the original BMPCC was that it was so light portable but it's also a curse. I can't stand the little jitters you get with that thing when shooting handheld. I have found that a heavy wide angle lens is just about the only lens you can put on that thing if you are going with the bare camera and no lens stabilization if you want smooth handheld shots.

@@collinausbury I really like the 4K because it is such a versatile camera coming from the BMPCC. I miss the Fairchild sensor from the original, but overall it’s a better camera. I like having false color, better screen, better mics the most. The new 6K pro looks interesting, but for me, I think the 4K will enable me more than enough for years to come.

Another option, possibly the best, to stabilize shots captured on a BMPCC 4K or 6K, is to use something called a gimbal.
